What Would the Countess Do?: Politics Plus Hollywood; Rude Guests

When it comes to etiquette, manners and overall good behavior, even celebrities need help navigating the rough waters of stardom! It’s a good thing Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York is joining forces with OK! to school them on the right thing to do! In a rough situation, we just ask, “What Would the Countess Do?” This week she weighs in on politics in Hollywood and being a rude guest.

Joe Biden’s wife is appearing on a Lifetime series, Army Wives. Is it proper for politicians and their spouses to enter the entertainment world?
Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, Dr. Jill Biden is appearing as herself on the Lifetime network program Army Wives to lend her support to our troops and their families. I think that there is nothing wrong with Dr. Biden’s decision to use a popular television show to draw attention to the sacrifices made by the men and women of the Armed Services. She will be appearing with other real Army Wives in this episode, which focuses on a free summer camp for military children. I applaud Dr. Biden’s decision to appear on Army Wives and think that we cannot do enough for our military families.
Tip: Use your influence and resources to support programs that matter to you the most.

Lady Gaga was recently in Jerry Seinfeld’s box at the Mets game and behaved very poorly. What is the best way for a rude guest to go about making amends?
Lady Gaga’s behavior at a recent Met’s game is inexcusable. She showed up at a daytime baseball game dressed in a bikini, fishnets and leather coat and then became angry when her fans noticed her. She was moved to Jerry Seinfeld’s VIP box after she was disruptive in her front row seats, then from his box, gave booing fans the finger. I think she needs to apologize to Jerry Seinfeld for her rude behavior. She should call him personally or send a note to make amends for her appalling behavior.

Tip: Don’t be surprised if people gawk at you if you wear a bikini to a baseball game. Wear discreet clothing and a baseball cap if you wish to remain incognito in public.
